“Not a problem… just the alarm signalled someone was in here when they shouldn’t have been,” my head tilts to the side as I study her.

She seems timid.

I lift my hand and curl my fingers, hovering them over her cheek before I brush the back of my knuckles over her soft skin.

“You would look so pretty on your knees, hands bound behind your back…” I lift my hand off her in almost an instant.

Stepping back, I turn and walk for the door.

“Get dressed, I’ll wait for you outside,” and with one nod, I step outside the shower room.

Too close.

Too fucking close.

I’m not waiting long when she steps out of the room, bags in hand. Dressed in a cotton tee and high waisted suit trousers. Simple but hot.

And she is wearing the pearl necklace.

She follows requests well.

Her hair still slightly damp and bare faced.

Beautiful.

I begin walking towards her office but continue passed and press the button for the lift, taking us up to the twelfth floor.

I watch as she opens her mouth, but shuts it again. I don’t miss the way her fingers tighten around the handle of her bag.

Is she nervous?

Is it me?

The doors ping and I hold my hand out for her to step inside before me.

Once the doors are shut, I hear the sharp intake of her breath.

“Do I make you nervous, Taylor?” I turn to face her, she’s standing in the corner.

Her head is hung low as she shakes it softly from side to side. “Are you lying?” I narrow my gaze on her and her head snaps up, eyes pinned to mine.

I watch as her chest rises and falls.

One large step and I am in front of her, fingers gripping her cheeks as I hold her face steady.

“Tell me. Do I make you nervous?”

“Yes,” she whispers and for some reason it makes my cock twitch.

My eyes roam over her face, and in that moment there is so much I want to say, but I don’t.

I keep quiet as the door pins open.

“Come,” I order, walking out before her and she follows me like a timid child.

Knocking on Lucas’ office door, I step inside and give him a wide smile.

“Look who I found using the showers.” And the way Lucas looks at her has me reeling.
